right-side
notice the rusted grip bolts from playing paintball
in snow.   up here in Canada, i only play paintball
at my friends acreage outdoors at night, and it's
always in the snow, cuz that's all we have up here.
no igloos where i live though. the good thing is
all the snow is now multicolored cuz it's white and
we use different colored paint every time we play, so
it's like a marrage of colors, but we don't get to see
them unless we make it out during the few hours of day
that we get. but that's all gonna change soon cuz sumer
is coming right up, brotha.


looking through the barrel


from above


hoses (soon to be upgraded to larger diameter ones for
better air flow)
notice the superglue holding the response trigger
end adaptor into the marker casting, had to resort to
this because i stripped it screwing it in and it had
wobble that would make it get loose every 10 shots.
so i superglued it like madman and now it holds tight
like a tiger. also had to superglue hose near t-fitting
because i cut it a tad too short because i forgot to
account for the extra slack needed to accompany the
hose when you open up the feeder by pressing the front
sight down. so i superglued it and now it's fine and
dandy, when i open the feeder thingy, the hose just
barely stretches instead of ripping out like it would
before my superglue mania-spree.


t-fitting needed to run r/t and cyclone at same time


stage one of the silencing of the R-5 hopper insides
used superglue to hold cloth onto inside walls of hopper


left a path without any cloth so the balls will
ride it down into the feeder system


view when attatched to marker


a look at the inside of it from the outside


how i carry it around for challenges


my crappy ass ~115CI HPA/Nitrogen/Compressed Air Tank.
the retard who sold me it didn't say anything about
the valve having a horrible leak, so it's bassically
useless, and i never found out until i AFTER i went and
got it hydrotested. gave me 4 minutes of fun paintball
action before blowing te hell and back, now it's useless
back to good ole CO2 for me, unless i find a good HPA
tank.

you dont want a bunch of wobbling going on with your trigger. you can fix wobble by replaceing the pin your trigger is on with the shaft of a [dont remember exact size] drill bit. its Barely bigger than the original pin. you can find details of this mod on the internet somewhere. if you find instructions for this mod, you'll probably find instructions for shortening the trigger pull.

the cocking is pretty much just personal preferance

yes the r/t fires once as you pull the trigger, and then uses excess gas to fire off another shot as you release the trigger

you'll need a regulator

flatlandpercy wrote: ok my first question, about the low pressure kit. will the exterior of the paintball gun appear as it did normally, or will it look different, like an extra long bolt sticking out of the back, or other? Their will be a regulator coming down between the trigger frame and the front grip.  The front grip will be replaced with a secondary regulator. is there a way to adjust the slack on the trigger? is it supposed to be very UNslacky (touch&go)? Their are some trigger mods to help with the trigger search around. why do people get top cocking, or rear cocking upgrades, what function does it serve better having it cock in these positions as opposed the the normal side cock? I dont really see any advantage some poeple just like to try it. does the response trigger upgrade mean that once installed, the gun will shoot when you pull AND release the trigger? No the r/t is when their is a little piston behind the trigger and the trigger bounces off the piston.  It is still 1 shot per pull , it is mmore like a full auto,. does low pressure upgrade work better with longer barrels or does barrel length stay the same ussually with LPK? Barrel should not really effect anything with air such as consistancy or velocity , haveing a really long barrel might screw it up.  Dont go past 16in for a barrel. my last question is most important: if i choose to use Nitrogen (Compressed air), can i just screw it in, or do i need something else to make it work on my custom pro?  Yes you can just screw it in and play , just make sure it is a high pressure output tank (800 - 850 )psi output. THANKGOW

The other cocking is just an alternative to a rocketcock.  It is a little more than personal preferance I think because they keep paint a dirt out of your gun.

welcome to the forum good luck in paintball

Eh, if I'm not mistaken, a Response trigger wont fit on a Custom Pro. (correct me if I'm wrong) The custom pro works off of a microswitch positioned behind the trigger, which is where a RT would be located.

The trigger slop can be solved by wrapping the trigger pin with masking tape, but be sure it's smooth, or it will decrease your trigger return.

You can lighten up the trigger by getting a DOP double trigger, and drilling a setscrew into the back loop of the trigger guard, forming a block so that the trigger doesnt progress any farther then needed to activate the microswitch.

A Low Pressure kit will add a cylindrical regulator about 3 inches in length where your steel braided hose enters the gun between the triggerguard and the foregrip.

As long as a barrel is between 10 to 14 inches in length, you're fine. Any barrel beyond 14 inches is uneccessarily long, and could decrease the range or your shots, and a barrel shorter than 10 inches tends to have more accuracy problems as longer ones. As for the LPK, the barrel length will not effect anything.

If you get a Nitrogen (N2) tank, you will be able to screw it directly into the marker. Although you can, it's not suggested, as a regulator is needed to get a constant, consistant shot. Be sure to Chronograph your marker before using it if you choose to go with Nitrogen without a Low Pressure Kit.

Hopefully that answers all your questions.

Goodluck.

you're wrong.  they sell stock custom pros with response triggers.

nice gun

Yea new hopper i was going to say.  with a responce you will probably want an egg hopper 70$ or a halo b 100$

UPGRADES
BT SEALED BOLT SYSTEM (similar to rocket cock)
RESPONSE TRIGGER (bangbangbgang)
J&J CERAMIC 16" Barrel

MODS:
reduced trigger distance

note: thangow for response about electric hopper.
i don't much care for electric parts, so i'm gonna
wait till i can afford cyclone sys. i like r/t just
the way it is, even if it chops, it can still keep up
most of the time when i'm in full auto.
NICE
